Mine took just 16 days, over the Xmas period!! Northants again........

Kelmarsh is in Northants, on the A508 just south of Market Harborough.

Don't have that problem with my Barbour. The pockets have a fold over flap to keep blood, ****, snot and thunder out!
-
We all take too much kit, so my advice is to take everything, bar the kitchen sink, then take that just in case!!

One of our garden woodies is sitting on eggs!

I'll stand by what I said. You are obviously not au fait with the structure of my sentence, which was deliberate. Apostrophe corrected.

Reminds me of the husband and wife, in America, who went out hunting deer. He set her up in one place, while he went somewhere else. Later he heard a couple of shots and made his way to his wife`s hide. She was shouting at a man to leave her deer alone, and he shouted back,"You can have your deer back, just let me get the saddle off!"
One farmer painted COW on the house cow when the hunting season started.

You don`t have to believe me, Cranfield. You can take the boy out of the grammar school, but you can`t take the grammar school out of the boy.

Cranfield,
The second N was a genuine typo. I do know how to spell and I don`t use inappropriate upper case letters!! I`ll be as anal as I like over the correct use of English grammar.
Of course I doubt if you would think that your eccentric, and idiosyncratic, misuse of capital letters is at all anal.

Cranfield,
People from Poland are Polish. The stuff used to shine things is polish! Now you can see the problems with the innappropriate use of the capital letter!!

Remember that birds are often with their mates, so don`t be too eager to shoot them if they are committed, because another may be dropping in at the same time, but unseen by you. The usual thing is to allow one to land, then take the next one, and then go for the lander as it gets up. Not always possible but nice when it comes off.
I like them to at least attempt to land then I know my pattern is OK. I`ve had them land less than five metres from the hide, look up at the dead birds perched, as if on stilts, on cradles, then start tearing at the crop. THEN I know there`s nowt wrong with my pattern.
Of course some buzz the deeks and are fair game, as crossers, provided they are within range!

Reminds me of the Eskimo who`s car broke down in Wales. The mechanic said,"You`ve blown a seal," and the Eskimo said,"So what, you`ve shagged a sheep!"
-
As a rule of thumb I wouldn`t get out of the hide, provided you are well hidden, until a bird jinks or panics. This may indicate a bird on it`s back or in an unnatural position. Wait for a lull in the shooting, but take your gun with you! As with pouring out a cuppa, or having a pee, this will be the time when they start to drop in again. In rape, a bird you thought was down may get up and fly, so keep your gun handy.

Don `t all rush lads!!

Started off as a canoe instructor in the Gobi Desert then, when that folded, I became a full time clitlicker!!

I seem to remember reading about a pigeon shooter, who was shooting pigeons over stubble, and was stopped by, possibly the RSPCA, because he wasn`t actually protecting a crop from damage?
Getting the farmer on your side, vis-a-vis baiting, might also be difficult. I know of one farmer who was very annoyed at a pigeon shooter using a magic roundabout to attract birds to one field, at the weekend, then going to work the rest of the week while the pigeons tucked into the crop. He swears there weren`t as many birds there before the bloke arrived with his rotary.
At least one forum I read had a bloke who had just obtained some pigeon shooting provided he didn`t use deeks!! What a strange world!! I kill `em every which way I can, but I`ve never baited `em. Should be getting a few when they find the chopped maize.

It`s a short film showing two older gentlemen who regulary shoot against each other. Hence Grudge Match.

It`s been on a couple of time before, but worth seeing again. Thursday at 1.00 pm on Channel Four. Two old boys shooting it out over clays.

You have to be sure you`re not reading the weight of the barrels.
-
This fault nearly always occurs when you don`t release pressure on the trigger before the second shot. If you can fire one barrel, then wait until you fire the second, as a test, you will probably find it`s OK. Try in sequence between the barrels. Worth a few wasted cartridges, just for peace of mind. Of course you could try over some clays.

My Hawke Nite Eye 3-9X50 has eleven brightness settings and I wouldn`t be without it on my rimfires.

BBC 1, 7.30 pm, Monday 6th, INSIDE OUT. The biggest rookery in Britain, should be worth a look? I think they mentioned 8,000 birds!!
